Islam Should be Offended With JACKO'S Memorial
Edited on Tue Jul-07-09 04:30 PM by rsmith6621
Jacko announced in the media several years ago he was ditching his familys faith that being Jehovah's Witnesses for Islam...

.....Well today's service was everything but a service without Islamic funeral traditions and customs. Today's service was correctly stated by an MSNBC reporter who said it was like a page out of a Christian black Baptist church service...with my 1.5 years of Protestant seminary education I have to agree...there was nothing Islamic about it..I think MJ would also be offended that this side of his personality wasn't allowed to be shown...The family should have rightfully had him buried within 24 hours after the coroner released his body to keep within customs.This wasn't about MJ this was about $$$$$.


The Jackson family should also be ashamed as they are hypocrites to their own faith beliefs as well.....I'll bet after today they will not be allowed to knock on doors anymore....The JW's are as far as Islam from being Christians....


Just glad it is over.

...You call it a Memorial I call it a large scale funeral...you are naive if you think otherwise....they were there to give final rights for a dead man.

9. Can you give a link of him announcing he was becoming Muslim?
Not sure why Muslims and non-Muslims alike are obsessed with MJ's religion, but apparently it's a major issue.

In any case, do you have a link? I've heard this story repeated so many times, but haven't seen any properly documented evidence.

10. STFU, OK?
Memorial and funeral services are for the surviving to say GOOD-BYE.

If this is what his mom wanted, it's none of your business. And if this is what she wanted, I am sure MJ is pleased.

Sheesh...:eyes:

15. Islam teaches one to worry about one's own self
and not to judge others. Instead, show mercy and compassion to others. And I believe it was one of Michael's brothers who reverted to Islam, not Michael.

16. How do you know that he didn't go back to his faith? You are nuts so shut up. How dare you
question their faith. None of us has that right.

18. Maybe Jackson realized that Islam is just as stupid as Christianity
Just a thought...
